I am kinda the same as the other fellow. I only buy what I have caught fish on or have had people told me they caught fish on. But since everyone is so different you an imagine I have every single lure, just no every color. I actually have three tackle boxes. One is my primary (seasonal) box that I take on every trip. I will then put some alternate lures from my 2nd box in with my primary one when I go on a trip. The third tackle box is full of either lures i have found and need new hooks or paint jobs, or just extras like a lot of soft plastics. But if you look in my primary box right now you will see mainly spawn-early summer lures and only a handful of different colors.

I usually have 2 or 3 colors or color patterns per lure type. Most of my plastics are some kind of green pumpkin or watermelon or black and blue. Lipless are chrome or red craw. Squarebills are tennessee shad, red craw, and bluegill. Most of my lures follow that pattern.

Im bad about this. I see a color I think looks really good or I think would work. Problem is I almost always end up going to my fall back confidence colors. Black red flake, hematoma, Green Pumpkin blue swirl, Watermelon red, Green pumpkin chart, etc.
